Children in T2 have been investigating onomatopoeia, the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named. T2W pupil Aniruddha Reddy (aged 7) share his poem with you, reflecting on the lockdown.
Noisy World to the Quiet World
She came as a whooshing wind,
and took away the buzz of a busy morning
I can’t hear the cars zooming anymore
I can’t hear people rushing anymore
I can’t hear the doors slamming anymore
I can’t hear the aeroplane whirring anymore
I can’t hear the giggles in the playground anymore
I can’t hear the classroom chatter anymore
I can’t hear the school bell ring anymore
She came as a whooshing wind and the whole world went quiet
In the quiet world,
I could hear the birds chirping
I could hear the bees buzzing
I could hear the clock ticking
I could hear the leaves rustling in the wind
I could hear the neighbour’s cat meowing
She came as a whooshing wind,
and the whole world calls her ‘The Super Virus’
